About Natalie’s Talk

Best practices in executing large-scale blockchain implementations:

The Blockchain technology has brilliantly displayed the highs and lows of the Gartner Hype Cycles. Too high expectations and pilots who didn’t get anywhere led to the so-called crypto winter - the disillusionment. After big and small success messages in the blockchain sector and increasing professionalization of the industry, it becomes obvious that blockchain is a powerful technology - yet not a panacea. This makes the question all the more important for companies, investors and regulators: How do I react? Successes and failures of blockchain projects - both large-scale implementations in companies and bottom-up projects from the start-up sector - reveal best practices. Obstacles are often not only in the technological solution, but can be identified and avoided along the entire value chain: From strategy to change management to external adoption. Together we will highlight examples, derive frameworks from them and share the first recipes for success in this young industry
